Substrate Enhancement - Electric — Barranglompo Island

Published as: The effect of different electrode voltages on transplanted coral growth rates and mineral accretions. | Technique: Substrate Enhancement - Electric | Genera: Acropora | Method: Transplanted corals were treated with 6 volts and 12 volts and compared with natural colonies nearby. | Survival of transplants reported by the source: 89% | Post-restoration monitoring: 3 months | Authors' conclusion: Mineral accretion was highest for the 12 volt treatment. | Lessons reported: Electrical current can enhance coral survival and growth. | This record was compiled from a published source and has not been confirmed by the organisation that carried out the work. No contribution to the condition index is recorded: the source reports survival of transplanted material, which is not a measure of ecosystem condition.

Recorded result

No result recorded yet. A result is recorded when the project moves to Paused, Completed or Discontinued.

A variable shows "pending" instead of a contribution when no domain area has been set for it yet — the share of the world a project touched cannot be computed without one. The health percentages are accurate regardless.
